Conspiracy No. 5 is the second studio album of the Christian Rock band Third Day. It was released on August 26, 1997 on Reunion Records.
The album is considered by most the band's most aggressive album to date. It is a departure from their original Southern rock style to a heavier, grunge style. This can be attributed to the help of producer Sam Taylor who "pushed the band to create the bands most aggressive and hardest rock album". Whereas many people compare their first album to the music of Hootie & The Blowfish, this second release is often compared to Pearl Jam.
Title
When asked about the album's title, their members come to several definitions about it. Mark Lee said "We named the album Conspiracy No. 5 because we were really into "conspiracy theories" which were swirling around at the time in the wake of the JFK movie. They also found the use of the number five compelling for several reasons: the 5 members of the band, and it was their fifth project including their independent releases.
However, the most spread out story behind the title comes also from Lee, who came across a definition of the word "conspiracy" on the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, 2nd unabridged edition. He said that "the 5th definition read basically that a conspiracy was when two more people worked together for a common cause. We found the definition a compelling parallel to what we did in the band. We also saw our touring as a chance to conspire with our fans for the common beliefs of our faith."
